KING CITY, Calif. -

There's a new queen in town.

Ashley Jones was crowned as the Miss Salinas Valley Fair 2013 after an all-day competition at the Salinas Valley Fair's Pavilion and Rava Arena in King City on Saturday. Jones will enjoy her reign for the next year, including during the year's festivities from May 16-19.

Four young ladies, all juniors or seniors in high school, competed in the event. Jones bested Savannah Hoss-Dodson, McKenzie Miller and Tahnee Bray.

Each contestant was judged on personality, scholastic ability, poise and appearance, and horsemanship.

Jones took home a $1,000 scholarship, a sterling silver belt buckle and many other prizes.

KSBW anchor and reporter Brittany Nielsen acted as one of the five judges.
